Should Texas secede, I will just have to take them off the list as no longer part of the U.S. They stole Texas from Mexico so it could be a slave state, so maybe they should have never been allowed to join in the first place.

Of the 3,326 miles you logged, the trip heading home sounded like it was full of sound and fury and signifying, instead of nothing, your determination, equanimity and desire for fun and exploration. That was really the tone of the whole trip.

It was very enjoyable to follow your adventures through your blog. At some point, you must turn the blog into a book. Maybe call it “Beemer Biker Zens Out.”

I had to laugh about your parking the Beemer behind the biker bar and going in with the swagger of the “aw shucks” guy from Virginia, with your all-gear-all-the-time halo. Nice contrast!

Also, I liked your story about the “Rat Bikes,” and you with your full-body armor and urban-chic ride. That could have turned into a monumental standoff but sounds like you handled it with the diplomacy that is natural to the Irish……….Say what?

And the ten pounds shipped home. Just curious……did you weigh what you started with? I suppose there’s an optimal weight on a machine like that.

Hearing about your Aunt Anne was interesting. I can picture your getting locked out, but at least it was in a safe place instead of a flop house in East St. Louis. Is she the last of your older family generation?

That whole story about the Lewis and Clark expedition made me want to read more about it. I hadn’t before seen a picture of the keel boat and was trying to imagine how they managed to survive on that thing for so long with 33 members packed in.

I had enquired in an email whether you were done with your 2,000+ mile trips and you replied that “No, don’t think I’m done with long trips. I still have my goal of riding in all of the contiguous 48 states. With this last one, I have reached 42. I need OK, TX, NV, CA, OR, & WA to hit the magic number. Next year, I hope.” I was wondering if you will manage that before TX secedes from the Union? Suppose they’ll require a passport?

Well, I could go on but there were so many juicy tid bits scattered along the way that it’ll suffice to say thanks for the work you put into writing an entertaining story, to say nothing of the work it took to make it all happen.
